Bassist Brent Wilson no longer a part of Panic! At The Disco

Bassist Brent Wilson no longer a part of Panic! At The Disco
From their official website:
"There really isn’t a good way to say this, and it was a decision that was very tough to make, but feels like it will be the right decision for everyone. We regret to inform you that Brent is no longer a part of Panic at the Disco, and although this choice does feel very healthy, he is a great friend of ours and he will definitely be missed. We all wish him well and the best of luck in everything he wants to do in the future.The last few years will be something we will never forget, all the places we’ve been that we never thought we’d go and things we’ve seen that we thought we’d never see when we started this band.
Right now our friend jon is going to be filling in, and I’m sure it would ease his nerves a bit to get a warm reception. We’re at home preparing for the summer tour, and we’ve never worked so hard on putting something together. I can’t tell you how excited we are for these shows and for you all to see what we’ve been planning, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves…just you wait."
I know many of you dispise Panic! At The Disco, but I love them a lot and this is pretty sad. I just saw them in concert a couple of months ago. :(

Everyone at my school was talking about them and had that video on their MySpace so I gave them a listen and like you said, they're unlistenable.
Sooo good.
it was a decision that was very tough to make, but feels like it will be the right decision for everyone.
it doesn't sound very amicable to me.
Fucking sellouts.
a lot of amazing bands will never get as much recognition because they never go on mtv but they have the respect, adoration, and loyalty of thousands of fans.
a lot of my favorite bands went on mtv and their albums to follow were nothing like their previous, way more commercial & shitty - trying to appeal to 12 years old girls who like Avril Lavgine.
they're sellouts for getting signed and doing promotions on mtv and stuff.
i mean, hey who doesn't want money
but a lot more people would respect certain bands if they stayed off TRL
it's not like certain bands didnt make shitloads of money before they appeared on mtv (example: Taking back sunday)
Spencer is cool though, I met him at Bamboozle. We were watching some jewish rabbi with robotz.
:'( HELP ME.
BRENT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
